Flexible Work Arrangement

Consistent with the Company’s Flexible Work Arrangement policy, an essential function of an on-site/office-based position requires an employee to perform a regular portion of their duties at a Company facility. In-person collaboration is a critical component of your job and vitally important to innovation, all of which can only be accomplished working on site.

Working in this manner is consistent with the Company’s philosophy of “kaizen,” as well as facilitates important team interactions, enhances learning and development, and supports relationship building. These functions are critical to our business operations and consistent with the Company’s value of “genchi, genbutsu, genjitsu” to see and understand where work is done.

If your role is as a member of management, you will use in-person work time to train, develop and motivate employees. Further, through observation and assessment of processes, you will identify opportunities to enhance employee effectiveness and productivity.
